How do I know what went wrong when "There was a problem.. report" box comes up every time I boot. How to stop the repeats after I "report" this?

    It's a bug. I assume that you're using 19.04. Once you report a crash, it should clean up the crash files so that you don't see the same crash dialog again.

    While viewing the crash dialog, you can flip down the details arrow to get the technical information about what went wrong.

    Once you've reported it, to stop the repeats, we clear out the obsolete crash files, in terminal, type:

    cd /var/crash # change directories

    ls -al # see the various crash logs

    sudo rm *.crash # delete obsolete crash files
